4-Year-Old Autistic Boy Saved From Drowning by Father and 12-Year-Old Son

A father and son are credited with saving the life of a drowning child with autism. Twelve-year-old Maddox and his friends noticed 4-year-old Xavier go under water in a gated swimming pool. Maddox ran for his father, Tom, who climbed over the locked metal fence and pulled the toddler from the pool. Authorities say Tom “did compressions for 2 minutes and 41 seconds.” Because of Maddox and Tom’s quick actions, Xavier is here to bounce another day!
